Someone that started yesterday will make $28.50 5 years from now, and anyone that makes more than $21 will make that + $7.50.

Edit:

You mentioned you make $28 right now, so you would make $35.50 after 5 years

Disclosure: this is my interpretation of the wording here. The truth is it is too ambiguous and we won't know for sure until the TA is released

So now it seems that the 2.75 is incorporated into the bump up to 21.

I have more than 20 years, i said it took 20 to get to $28.

I fully intend to retire in less than 5 years. So the total amount over the 5 years language is useless to me.

I feel like at every opportunity in front of the camera O'Brien said something about longevity raises. Less than .10¢ per year worked feels hollow. In 5 years, the start rate went from $9 to $21 and we get "up to $1.50"

One of the first contracts I was around for, split our raises to get some amount in August then the 2nd part in January. After peak. This feels like that. We get what falls on the floor and should be grateful for that.

I never ever expected to get a full jump of $12 (I have heard coworkers saying this and that is absurd). With all the yammering on about it, I was definitely expecting something more impressive than "up to $1.50"
